Associate position in Analysis of Marine Reserves.

 

We seek a highly quantitative yet very pragmatic colleague to work with us

familiarity with generalised linear models and Bayesian approaches. GIS
skills and experience with fisheries or marine conservation would be valued.
The position requires independence, flexibility, strong interpersonal
skills, and a good sense of humour. 

 

This one-year position will start on January 1, 2006 or as soon as possible
thereafter.  It will be based at Project Seahorse, Fisheries Centre, the
University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada.  One trip to the
Philippines will be required.
